Grape Vine

A vigorous vine that is decorative, as well as edible, with 3- to 5-lobed, fresh green leaves which turn rich red and orange in autumn. During the summer, small clusters of green grapes develop, later ripening to black in autumn. The grapes are small and sweet but full of pips and are best left as a decoration on the vine.Position: full sun or partial shadeSoil: well-drained, preferably neutral to alkaline soilRate of growth: fast-growingFlowering period: June to JulyFlower colour: tiny green flowersOther features: stunning autumnal foliageHardiness: fully hardyGarden care: When planting incorporate plenty of well-rotted organic matter in to the planting hole.
